Gabrielle Wilkes

Gabrielle Wilkes was born in St Lucia but raised in the land of her parent’s birth, Trinidad and Tobago. She received her BFA in Art with a concentration in Metals from Ball State University where she graduated Magna Cum Laude amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite majoring in metals, she often works in mixed media, availing herself of any accessible materials. Her work is born from a constant introspection as she explores the themes of identity and culture.

She was the recipient of the prestigious Dean’s Scholarship, an Aspire Student Grant, and a scholarship to study abroad in Italy.
